Are you ready for an Inaugural Ball?

Yup, Senator Edwards speaks. SoreLoserman II begins tonight, but I'm not waiting!

Congratulations President Bush!!

It's all over but the crying for the SoreLosermen!!

And now it's time for us to start planning the Free Republic George W. Bush Inaugural Ball II!

I've had Kristinn checking venues and prices and we're in the process of getting a proposal from the Wyndham City Center Hotel in Washington, DC (the other Wyndham that we used last time is already booked).

The costs have more than doubled from our first ball, so we're estimating the price per person will have to be in the neighborhood of $175 per person. We'll also have to move fast on this. We'll need to make a quick decision as soon after the elections results are official as we possibly can and then we'll need to quickly raise the funds to put up the required deposit.

So, here's the question: Are you ready for an Inaugural Ball?

If so, please post here if you plan to attend and how many will be in your party.

Thank you all very much and hope to see you in DC on January 20th!!


By the way, everyone told us last time that the Free Republic Ball was the best one in town and it was half the price or less than all the others. I suspect that this Ball will also be the best in town and at $175 will still be priced less than any other!

Hello, Jim: I signed up for a ticket first day you made the announcement; unfortunately, I have to cancel. Have a great, great time all of you!

Hi Jim!

I already reserved 4 tickets earlier, but I have a question... is this going to be an over 21 event, or are kids allowed?

:o) Thank you!

Any freepers know anything about the Oxon Hill, MD area?...found a room available there and want to make sure it's in an ok area before making reservations...thanks in advance for any info!

[capydick]

Please add two more to my count. I am now at a total of ten! Thanks again......

Me and my sis gopwhit are hoping to attend - can't be totally sure yet but wanted to see when the cutoff date for buying the tickets will be. If you've got a ping list going on this please let us both (nerdgirl, gopwhit) know - hope we can make it!

Accomodations booked, proper attire has been selected, time off from work secured, dog sitter arranged.

We are so looking forward to this.

Jim, it's gonna be great to see you again. It's been since the House Managers Dinner in... when the heck WAS that? '99?

YIKES!!!

[Jim Robinson]

Great! See you there!

[Jim Robinson]

Ok, great! See you there! Kristinn and the DC Chapter will be scouting for available hotel rooms.

[Jim Robinson]

Ok, sorry you have to miss it.
Thanks,
Jim

We are planning a room adjoining the ballroom with a menu for children 12 and under at a reduced price. The parents will be responsible for supervising the children. Teens and young adults will be welcome in the ballroom (no adult beverages can be served to persons under 21).

See you there!
